Hot Niche + Winning Product = Cash!

Confused about what to sell as an affiliate? Worried your affiliate marketing strategies will fail? It’s best to sell what people are already buying. Here’s how to find a hot niche and winning product.

Two Steps to Selecting a Hot Niche

Go to ClickBank and choose one of the nine categories. Whichever one strikes your fancy is good as you’ll find gold in all of them. Leave the keyword field empty and browse through the products using Sort by: Popularity. This will reveal which niches and products sell well.

1) Test interest level.

Look at the last item in the line under each product listed–grav. A big number after grav shows the niche has ready buyers.

Test this with the Google keyword tool where you search for a general term for the niche. If you chose the computing and internet category in ClickBank and see registry cleaners have good grav numbers, search for registry cleaners in the keyword tool. A monthly search volume of 5000 is good, more is great.

2) Test competition level.

First, look for at least three competing products in ClickBank.

Second, with your browser do a Google search for “registry cleaner” and see how many Google Ads appear on the right. Five or six ads is a good sign that affiliates make money from their ads.

Three Steps to Selecting a Winning Product

1) Look for healthy ClickBank statistics.

See the line of symbols/numbers in the ClickBank search results you got before? Here’s what those notations mean to you.

• $/sale — average amount earned per affiliate per sale, a number that can be driven down by refunds and chargebacks. If the number is less than the next number (we’ll get to that in a minute), it’s a signal that customers demand refunds. Not so good.
• Total $/sale — Go for a minimum of $20 to profit from your affiliate marketing efforts.
• %/sale — average percentage commission earned per affiliate per sale. You want at least 50%.
• %refrd — fraction of product owner’s total sales that are referred by affiliates. You want to see 70-90% as that suggests lots of affiliates make a generous commission on this product.
• grav: # — an estimate of the number of affiliates with at least one sale in the last 30 days. Look for a product with 50-100 which indicates affiliates do sell it, but not too many, so there’s room for you at the table.

2) Look for a professional sales page.

This is crucial to your success. Visit the sales page, read it and see if it motivates YOU to buy. Some great products have lousy sales pages that turn off customers. Pass up a bad sales page.

3) Check for ready affiliate marketing tools.

Go to the product website and check out the affiliates section. You don’t want to rely entirely on your own devices and have to invent enticements. A smart product owner supplies you with a wide array of tools like PPC keywords, ad copy, email ad copy, banners and support.

Did you find a product that passes all your tests? Congratulations! With this as one of your affiliate marketing strategies, you can now proceed with confidence that your efforts will pay off. What’s next?

Your tireless salesmen on the net.

You may already know that article marketing provides you with free traffic, establishes you as an authority in your niche, builds rank for your web site in Google, MSN and Yahoo, and creates the kind of content everyone searches for and gobbles up. Have you tried article marketing, but didn’t get these great results? If you don’t have much money, have little internet marketing experience, no product or are about to quit online marketing, hang on a second.

Would you like to make money with free articles, kick your site into overdrive and get top 10 rank in Google?

I found a $7 report that reveals how to:

• Find a Hot Niche and Select a Winning Product
• Target Keywords Your Buyers are Searching
• Write an Article that Converts
• Create Landing Pages
• Give Your Article Marketing Firepower to Supercharge Your Efforts
• Special Summary Bonus: 7-Day Article Cash Robots “Create, Release and Profit” Plan

This report is an instant download written by Davion Wong, a fellow who offers tons of great information, often for free. I’m impressed by his helpful products.

How Article Cash Robots Saved My Bacon

In Article Cash Robots, I learned how he goes about selecting a niche. Something about his method of how to find the “money” keywords clicked with me. I finally got it. What a relief after years of struggle. I don’t know how or why his explanation worked. I just know that now I can write articles and create products that are On Target.

I’ve paid more for other ebooks and received far less than what’s in this meaty report. No wasted pages here, just good clear useful information with screen shots so I could understand every step. I put it to work right away. His chapter on writing an article that converts readers to clickers includes everything from formatting tips to two great ways to do research and write FAST.

What’s Wrong With It

At first I was leery because his sales page makes big money promises that I thought bordered on hype. Then my jaw dropped when I saw his low price. In the report I thought he glossed over creating landing pages until I discovered it pays to click the links in that chapter. He shows sample live landing pages you can use as templates and offers free software to create an opt-in page!

If you’ve gotten nowhere fast with your article marketing so far and feel stressed out, just learn the step-by-step process this successful article marketer teaches. It’s how he built his business. This report gives a clear, concise method you can easily duplicate and make money with articles within days.

He ends the report with a 7-day plan that outlines daily steps to create a whole regiment of article cash robots that work to make money for you 24/7.

Home Business Technology Course

Hi there. Here’s something cool for you if you want to start your new online business like right now and technology gives you cramps.

Johnny B. Truant (online personality-boy persona of a really competent guy…shh!) has a new course that takes you step-by-step with videos through every stinking detail of getting your online business up and running–in seven days!

He assumes you can read email and run a browser, but need help beyond that–which is why you can’t get your business going online. If you’re more experienced than that, skim the lessons until you land knee-deep in the mire you can’t deal with.

I feel comfortable recommending his course because he was clever enough to give out a freebie awhile back on how to set up your WordPress blog in an hour for stupidly cheap. I gobbled up that book and found a step-by-step process laced with wacky humor.

As it happens, I’m familiar with the process and his method is spot on.  Thumbs up!

The giggles he added for fun makes the installation more palatable than the fingernail-chewing worries and hair-pulling I went through the first few times on my own.

So what’s wrong with the course?

If you’re offended by offensive language, be warned. It’s in the course, on the sales page, pretty much everywhere.

It starts with the name of the course: Make the Internet Your Bitch. Only he would think up that name for a course on making technology work the way you want it.

But the dude knows his technology and then some. I’m thinking he’s helped people who mishandled their software settings and techy stuff to the point that it looks like alien roadkill, and he can find the push button that makes it all stand up, salute and get busy making your online business hum.

Like I said, the name of the course is Make The Internet Your Bitch. As in, shape up you tricky technology you. Work right, right now, and keep on working right.

Ooh. Did you feel that little thrill run down your spine? I did. I remember the days when I couldn’t even FTP 90% of the time. There I was with a brand new site and it seemed like I needed voodoo to make the settings work so I could upload a page I slaved over.

Let Johnny save you from the wasted time, lost business, moping and crying. Check out his course and get your online business up and running seven days from right this minute. No fooling!

My affiliate marketing lifeline.

I can’t tell you how much money I’ve spent with the aim of creating an online income. Far too much of it went on credit cards, but I called it an investment.

Yes, I got an education on all kinds of things, like puzzle pieces that haven’t fit together. The sad part is I’m still broke, even with selling stuff on eBay.

I understand affiliate marketing’s considered easy. I’ve taken a stab at that so many times, because it’s free you know. If relative newbies can do it and I’m no longer that, what do I do wrong?

I felt confused, frustrated and overwhelmed, worked harder and faster, the wolf at the door, about fed up with buying into this or that promising product out of desperation because I needed something different for different results.

When I found a course on doing affiliate marketing right in just a few hours a week which could start earning income about Week 8 through 12, I felt I’d been thrown a lifeline.

I’d heard of Jimmy D. Brown before, probably downloaded freebies from him, know he’s respected. He’s an old hand at marketing, makes a good living at it and shares what he knows in easy-to-understand words.

There are important steps in doing affiliate marketing the right way and by the third week of the Affiliatenaire course I discovered steps I’d always missed before. No wonder I couldn’t get anywhere.

Each week I get a lesson in my inbox, download, read and do it. I love how he provides videos that make each step crystal clear so beginners can follow the course without feeling at sea. I await each new lesson with some impatience–never mind that I’m busy with two other businesses. I set aside time for this, believe me.

The intricacies of an autoresponder, opt-in pages and forms can confuse me. As he got me through, he helped me implement a neat tip no one else ever mentioned. It’s slick how it grants my readers instant access to what they want.

Is the Affiliatenaire course perfect? Not quite. His instructions include details on working with a different web host than the one I use, and a different autoresponder. While they’re excellent choices and a beginner could follow along without trouble, I push a different set of buttons for the same results. I’m okay with that.

My biggest wish is that he could provide a bonk on my hard head when I let perfectionism slow me down. He does tell me what’s good enough, what will do the trick, so I suspect he knows about perfectionism.

If you’re in a state of overwhelm, Jimmy D. Brown’s Affiliatenaire course will take you by the hand, drip feed you what comes next with step-by-step lessons, examples and videos that help you lay a solid foundation and float over every hurdle with ease. Week 6 has me squirming in my seat as I realize I’m –>thisclose<– to making money with my first ever can’t-fail, pro-mentored affiliate marketing campaign.
